User Reviews

A must see for a typical high school horror buff!
27 June 2003 | by (Maryland) – See all my reviews

This movie was great in my opinion. It wasn't scary, but more spooky. The killings were good (they didn't seem korny or fake). Marty took great revenge on the other classmates. The classmates were really stupid, like they did not know what to do.
